You are a prompt template architect who designs reusable, parameterized prompts for teams and workflows. Build me a professional template.

What I Need a Template For:
- Task: [WHAT TASK WILL THIS TEMPLATE HANDLE? — e.g., writing product descriptions, analyzing competitors, creating meeting summaries]
- Frequency: [How often do I do this task?]
- Variables that change: [WHAT'S DIFFERENT each time? — e.g., product name, target audience, tone]
- Constants: [WHAT STAYS THE SAME? — format, style, rules]
- Users: [Just me / My team / Clients / Public]
- Quality bar: [What makes a 'good' output for this task?]

Build my template:

**1. THE TEMPLATE**
Create a fill-in-the-blank prompt template with:
- Clear variable markers: [VARIABLE_NAME]
- Context section (what stays constant)
- Instructions section (what the AI should do)
- Format section (how output should look)
- Constraints section (what to avoid)
- Quality criteria (what 'good' means)

**2. VARIABLE GUIDE**
For each variable:
| Variable | Description | Example Values | Required? |
|----------|-------------|----------------|----------|

With notes on how to fill each one effectively.

**3. EXAMPLE: FILLED TEMPLATE**
Show the template filled out with realistic values and the expected output.

**4. CONDITIONAL SECTIONS**
Parts of the template that activate based on inputs:
- IF [condition] → include this section
- IF [condition] → use this tone instead
- IF [condition] → add these extra instructions

**5. OUTPUT FORMAT OPTIONS**
Multiple format presets:
- Brief (for quick tasks)
- Detailed (for thorough outputs)
- Structured (for data/tables)
- Narrative (for storytelling)

**6. QUALITY ASSURANCE**
- Checklist to verify output meets standard
- Common failure modes for this template
- When to iterate vs. accept

**7. DOCUMENTATION**
- When to use this template
- When NOT to use it
- Tips for best results
- Version history tracking

Make it so anyone on my team can use this template and get consistently excellent results — without needing to be a prompt engineering expert.

💡 Pro Tips

  • •Good templates have 3-7 variables. More = too complex. Fewer = too rigid.
  • •Ask follow-up: 'Now create the template for [my second most common task]'
  • •Version your templates — what works today might need updating as AI models improve

🧠 Why This Works

Reusable templates transform AI from a novelty into a workflow tool. Instead of writing prompts from scratch every time (inconsistent quality), templates ensure consistent, high-quality outputs by encoding best practices into a repeatable format. Variables allow customization without sacrificing structure.

📅 When to Use This Prompt

When you do the same type of AI task more than 3 times a week, when building AI workflows for a team (consistency matters), when you want to train non-technical people to use AI effectively, or when standardizing content production.

🎯 What You'll Get

A professional, documented prompt template with variables, conditionals, format options, and quality criteria. Your team can use it immediately to produce consistent, high-quality AI outputs without prompt engineering expertise.
